Hi all,

Can anyone clarify the contract of the method org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.QueryBuilder.impersonate(String name)? According to the JavaDoc, the parameter is the "name of an authorizable". But the interface org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.Authorizable doesn't have a name, just an id and a principal (which in turn has a name). If a principal name is expected here (which seems to be the case according to the implementations), then it needs to be specified if the caller has to do any necessary escaping: if the user in question is e.g. an LDAP user, it's principal name may contain backslash characters.

Best regards,
Manfred
